Brainerd resident Ron Anderson has published a children’s book called “Quack The Lucky Duckling.” It’s a true story and coloring book. Throughout the book, the fully illustrated page is followed by a version of the page that the child can color.

It tells the story of a duckling who wandered away from his family and was returned to them by a hunter.

Anderson’s parents live in St. Cloud.

The book is being sold directly through email

at quacktheluckyduckling@gmail.com and the Quack The Lucky Duckling Facebook page. A portion of the proceeds goes to the Confidence Learning Center in Brainerd.

Book Lovers Night at the College of St. Benedict features Minnesota native Jeanne Cooney.

The event is at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Room 204 at the Gorecki Center.

Cooney grew up in northwestern Minnesota. Her first novel, “Hot Dish Heaven: A Murder-Mystery Novel with Recipes,” is set there.

Cooney will read an excerpt from the book.

A second book, “A Second Helping of Murder and Recipes: A Hot Dish Heaven Mystery,” will be released later this year.

An informal book chat and book swap starts at 6:45 p.m. Cooney will be available to sign books after the reading.

Author Lucy Schwieger will sign books Friday at the Husky Book Store.
